[custom_adv] This fall, the world's first guitar-shaped hotel will open in South Florida. The $1.5 billion Hard Rock property in Hollywood, Florida, is part of a larger project -- a $2.2 billion project expanding two Florida Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos (the other is located in Tampa). [custom_adv] Both the Hollywood and Tampa locations of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are successful Seminole-run resort casinos and contain all the glitzy, overstated fixings of a traditional Hard Rock property. [custom_adv] The guitar-shaped 400-foot-tall Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida, officially opens October 24. Room reservations can be made online beginning July 24, and tickets to the grand opening's headliner musical act -- Maroon 5 -- are available for purchase May 31. [custom_adv] A family-friendly man-made lake featuring paddle boats and a lazy river, a 12,000-foot rooftop bar and lounge area as well as retail stores and large spaces for conventions will also be part of the facility. [custom_adv] As for the bedrooms, they'll start at 515 square feet and go (way) up from there. The Oasis Tower, for example, will showcase swim-up suites and be outfitted with amenities galore. [custom_adv] With villas (ranging in size from 450 to 800 square feet) submerged in water, personal butler service and more, guests can experience the ultimate in luxury with next to no effort. The VIP villas are intended to offer guests a private and exclusive pool experience. [custom_adv] No pricing on these (or any of the hotel's rooms) is available at this time, but there's a good chance the villas will be more affordable than an actual trip to a similarly-designed space in Bora Bora.
